A gorgeous limited-edition carbon fiber Lambo that packs a 770hp V12 engine, and is capable of dashing from 0 to 60 in just 2.8s, with a top speed of 217mph. Its all-wheel drive configuration and rear wheel steering should help it handle brilliantly.

Chevy SS: Chicago to Daytona

Chevy SS: Chicago to Daytona

Chevrolet put us behind the wheel of the awesome 415hp V8 2016 SS sports sedan, for an epic 1300+ mile road trip to see the Daytona 500. We time-lapsed the 19+ hour drive down to 5 minutes. The car was fast and comfy, and its new dual-mode exhaust sounded amazing.

McLaren 570 GT

McLaren 570 GT

McLaren takes its awesome 570S and turns it into a refined grand tourer. It’s easier to enter and exit, has power seats, a panoramic glass roof, a side-opening rear hatch, increased storage, and more. It’s still got a 570hp twin-turbo V8, and can do 0-62mph in 3.4 seconds.

3D Printed Steel Bike

3D Printed Steel Bike

Students at the Netherlands’ Delft University of Technology and 3D printing company MX3D programmed a welding robot to “print” the cage structure of this awesome and unique bicycle frame. We love the open and organic design, though it’s probably still quite heavy.

RCR: 1987 Subaru BRAT

RCR: 1987 Subaru BRAT

(PG-13 Language) The smartasses of Regular Car Reviews take on one of the worst, but still fondly remembered vehicles ever – the Subaru BRAT. This mini-ute had a cramped cabin, tiny bed, drove like crap, and had rear-facing seats that couldn’t have possibly been safe.

MUD Wood Bicycle

MUD Wood Bicycle

An absolutely stunning cruiser bike made primarily from wood. Its frame, pedals, and mudguards are made from birch and oak. It’s got a Shimano 3-speed shifter, Shimano rollerbrakes, and (thankfully) a saddle made from leather, not wood. (Thanks João!)

Sherp ATV

Sherp ATV

Similar to the Tarus, the Russian-made Sherp uses fat low-pressure tires to bobble through all kinds of terrain, except in this case the tires are 5.2ft in diameter. It also has a 44hp Kubota V1505-t engine, a 5-speed transmission and an endearing steel body.
